Barry Williams
Twice voted ‘Comedian of the Year’, Barry Williams is a brilliant raconteur with a natural ability to entertain and amuse any audience regardless of age or gender. He is equally at home speaking to small gatherings as he is with the very big occasion where his show-biz roots surreptitiously re-emerge and his projection and charisma are put to good use.
Master of the Ad-libs
Barry is a master of the ad-lib and this brings him resounding success and the hybrid of Barry Williams the Comedian and Barry Williams the After-Dinner Speaker makes him the definitive choice for corporate or sporting events as the speaker, host or compère. Working to a script and schedule, as well as co-ordinating guest speakers with audio-visual backup is something he excels. His speed of thought stands him in good stead ensuring that any technical hitches go unnoticed by the audience and with Barry at the helm the event will go like clockwork.
His knowledge of sport and current affairs, coupled to the volumes of general humour at his disposal, affords him the luxury of being able to completely change his speech content appropriately to suit each occasion.
After Dinner Speaker
Barry has become one of the country’s premier after-dinner speakers, a life style which he enjoys immensely. He thoroughly enjoys his work, which in the course of those years has taken him to all five continents. The icing on the cake for Barry is that between five and ten percent of his work is in the Sportsman’s Dinner circuit where he is thrilled with the opportunity to work along side many of his heroes.
Colleagues in both the cabaret and after-dinner world call upon Barry’s additional talents as a scriptwriter.
"Barry is without doubt one of the funniest after dinner speakers I’ve ever heard. He kept the audience captivated, appealing to everyone’s sense of humour."
Concrete Society
“Barry has entertained us on numerous occasions as both after dinner speaker and MC and we are always delighted with his performance. He is the consummate professional and appeals to all. He has also demonstrated time and time again his ability to rise to the occasion and surpass all expectations.”
